The moment Qin Siyang returned within the Safe Zone and his phone picked up a signal, he immediately notified Qian Wendao and Li Tianming.
Upon hearing the news, both men braced themselves as if facing a formidable enemy.
Li Tianming hurriedly put aside his research. After obtaining Qin Siyang's permission, he packed up a pile of experimental equipment, brought Quan Taibin along, and took a Capsule Pod to District 2.
Qian Wendao, meanwhile, contacted everyone who had been trapped in the underground chamber on the day of the domain merge, telling them to stop work immediately and come to District 2 for an emergency meeting.
A few hours later, everyone had arrived in the Secretary-General's Conference Room at the United Government Building in District 2.
Once everyone was seated, Wei Rulai said, "If you hadn't chosen the United Government Building in District 2 for this meeting, I really wouldn't have come."
Qian Wendao looked at him. "What do you mean, Commander Wei?"
"What do I mean?" Wei Rulai flicked up his yellow hair. "Ever since you and Qin Siyang talked me into attending that meeting in the underground chamber two days ago, the more I've thought about it, the more frightened I've become. If you two had actually harbored any ill intentions, wouldn't we all have been done for? So, to spare myself the worry, I've decided never to attend meetings in strange places again."
Qin Siyang replied, "If we really were the sort of people to harbor ill intentions, you wouldn't have listened to us and gone there for the meeting."
"Not necessarily." Wei Rulai shook his head solemnly. "Last time, I'd grown a little complacent because it had been so long since I'd faced matters of life and death. In the old days, I never would have agreed."
